The conceptual comics of Sol LeWitt:

"Serial Project, I (ABCD)", 1966

https://www.moma.org/collection/works/81533

"Both intricate and methodical, the sculpture’s system produces a visual field that gives viewers all the information they need to unravel its logic" is a pretty accurate description of nonlinear, abstract uncomics.

LeWitt also explored comic-like structures in his art books like "Autobiography" (1980).

@badgetoon I think the acid test is if average comics readers look at it and go "Nah, that's not comics." Then it's uncomics.

So probably #uncomics in this case 😆

The past week or so I've been working on a new piece of artwork. The process is a bit convoluted because I'm figuring out the formal language and experimenting with techniques to achieve it.

Eventually this is meant to be a series of abstract uncomics works. Some early underpainting shown below, more progress pics to follow 🧵

2022 — an informal review.

A look back at the first illustrious year of the Uncomics project, by Allan Haverholm @haverholm

If you liked yesterday's #genuary2023 prompt "asemic", and want to dig into the subject, why not start with a listen to an artist talk with Rosaire Appel.

https://uncomics.org/podcast/rosaire-appel.html

Appel has worked with asemic calligraphy and fonts in her abstract comics works that both explore the material and medial qualities of written language and meaning, and are expressive gems all in their own right.

"Uncomics – an artistic field where contemporary art and comics inform each other.

Where the absence of sequence encourages the reader to investigate the picture plane(s) in any direction and order, becoming an active co-creator in the process. A space outside the tedious limitations of story, where images both abstract and suggestive interact."

Read a Q&A with Uncomics project manager Allan Haverholm: https://www.naokofujimoto.com/working-on/uncomics-allan-haverholm

#uncomics #contemporaryart #comics #comicsstudies #artisticresearch

Uncomics ask the question posed by wordless and abstract comics — "what use is a comics theory based on literary story structure and figurative narrative?"

Instead, uncomics shifts its focus away from mainstream comic books and graphic novels toward the experimental periphery of the art form. From linear sequence to a more ambiguously threaded montage extant in the wider visual arts.

The work has begun with the Uncomics anthology and podcast: https://uncomics.org

#uncomics #comicsstudies

You can find more about Uncomics on the project website, https://uncomics.org

The print anthology is 180 pages of lavish comics that defy all conventions of the form to break new ground. Buy it directly from the publisher at https://www.hybriden.se/product/cba-vol-5657-9789187825293/

Finally, the Uncomics podcast features in-depth artist talks with a dozen creatives working on the intersection between contemporary art and comics. Find it on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1644341297 or Google https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly91bmNvbWljcy5vcmcvcG9kY2FzdC54bWw — though I recommend a classic RSS https://uncomics.org/podcast.xml

To start the year off I did a Q&A with Rhino Poetry editor Naoko Fujumoto about my Uncomics project.

What is Uncomics? What makes an uncomic? Who are the featured artists on the Uncomics podcast and in the print anthology?

Robert Rauschenberg was cheeky as hell calling this piece "Storyline I"... Story, vaguely, but it's hardly linear.

This fragmented, implied narrative is like a breadcrumb trail leading up to #uncomics 55 years later!
